Chapter 608 Lin is really a pauper
Lin Zhen was not the only one on the road, there were other people around him.
Seeing the carriage coming, people all got out of the way.
Lin Zhen couldn't stand this kind of behavior, but he wouldn't cause trouble because of it, so he just dodged and avoided it.
The carriage roared past on the road at a speed of about ten times the speed of sound.
Don’t think that ten times the speed of sound is slow. Under the huge pressure of the metaverse, it is impossible to have the same speed as the new world.
After the carriage passed, people around returned to normal.
"Is Prince Mu on patrol again?"
"Maybe. I heard that he has acquired a new territory. He must be on patrol there."
"This is what a winner in life is like. He has money and power, unlike people like us who work hard every day just for a few silver coins."
"You are already good enough. You can earn silver coins every day. For someone like me in the black hole period, it is very difficult to find a suitable job. I can only do some rough work in the arena and earn only copper coins every day."
"Work hard. When you reach the Star System Stage, you can apply to be a guest official at the palace. You will get a generous salary then."
"Forget it. Not just anyone can be a guest official. My biggest dream is to be able to drive the carriage for the prince. Look at that coachman, how majestic he is!"
"Hmph, then you probably have no hope. To be able to drive the carriage for the prince, you must not only be proficient in the skills of controlling beasts, but also stand out in the Star Domain Stage. The star power of the Domain King who drives the carriage must be over one million! Coachman is just one of his professions. He also has a profession as a bodyguard."
"Then I really have no hope. Sigh, it's really hard to survive in the Metaverse. Sometimes I really want to go to the New World. At least I can go to a planet and be a local tyrant."
"You're willing to go to the New Territory even though you can't live forever?"
"Then I'd better stay in the Metaverse."
Listening to the conversation between the two passers-by, Lin Zhen gained a better understanding of the Metaverse.
Because he didn't know enough about the Metaverse, Lin Zhen was not in a hurry to travel. He walked slowly along the road like an ordinary person, while talking to Chris.
"Can I use interdimensional communication now?"
"Master, the dimensional universe cannot be used for the time being. You do not have an identity in the Metaverse yet. Only after you obtain an identity can you obtain a Metaverse dimensional universe number again before you can use it."
"Do I need to get a new number? Does that mean the previous number is invalid?"
"It can't be considered completely invalid. When you return to the New Realm, you can switch back to the New Realm number, but it cannot be used in the Metaverse."
"And what about my friends?"
"It's all the same. After they come to the Metaverse, they must also change their dimensional universe numbers."
Lin Zhen sighed. He had wanted to contact Little Phoenix immediately after arriving here, but he didn't expect that the dimensional universe was unusable.
"So I can't find my old friends?"
"Yes, I am now just a stand-alone machine and cannot communicate with the outside world, so Master, you must obtain an identity immediately."
"Then do you know about the current situation of the metaverse? What should I do?"
Chris twisted her body in Lin Zhen's mind: "The Metaverse is actually a ball, with endless starry sky in the middle. It is said that billions of years ago, someone estimated its diameter to be about 4627 billion light years. However, the Metaverse has been expanding. Billions of years have passed, and it is difficult to determine the exact number now. All those who want to cross the endless starry sky have not succeeded yet."
Lin Zhen was secretly shocked. More than 400 billion light years, what kind of distance is that? "But the largest and most important component of the metaverse is the continent. The continent includes all the mountains, rivers, lakes and landforms known to people. There are tens of thousands of countries on the continent, with a clear hierarchy."
"Oh! What kind of system is there?"
"Countries that can be named with one character are all relatively powerful, such as Qin, Han, Chu, Zhou, Tang, Jin, and countless others. In short, those with one character are the most powerful, and many subordinate countries depend on them for their existence."
"For example, the land under our feet is called Nanliang, and it is affiliated with Liang State. But don't think that this is a small country. There are more than 900 counties in Nanliang, and each county has thousands of prefectures. The size of a prefecture is only several times larger than the Milky Way where our hometown is located."
After hearing this, Lin Zhen pondered for a moment: "In this case, a prefecture here is probably equivalent to a primary civilized universe country in the New Territory? A county is equivalent to the Sanjiang Star Region Federation, and a country is equivalent to an empire like Huo Qilin."
"Master, you can understand it this way, but there are still too many differences between the Metaverse and the New World. For example, many places here cannot enter the parallel universe. If you want to fly in the parallel universe, you must have a fixed route, and you have to stop and be inspected when passing through, which is very troublesome."
"How do we get there?"
"The teleportation array here is very developed. Important county governments and even families have teleportation arrays, but they are charged."
Lin Zhen nodded. No matter where you go, money is the most important thing.
"Compared to the New Territory, the population of the Metaverse is much larger. After all, there are continents everywhere, and people can survive everywhere. If the total population of the New Territory is 100, then the population of the Metaverse may be 100,000. Of course, there is no way to count the exact number of people."
Chris continued to remind Lin Zhen: "Master, in the Yuanjie, a mansion lord is a powerful realm king, and any county lord is in the realm of immortality."
"A palace lord is a realm king?" Lin Zhen was shocked.
"This is normal. Babies born in the Metaverse have star cores in their bodies right from birth. In other words, babies of the Metaverse's local residents are all in the Star Realm. By the time they are eighteen years old, at least some will reach the peak of the Star Realm. That's the worst. Generally, as long as someone gives them guidance or they work hard, it's common to reach the Black Hole Realm or Galaxy Realm."
At this time, Chris scanned the two passers-by in front of her and said, "Master, those two people, one is in the Galaxy Stage and the other is in the Black Hole Stage. They are both young people. The Black Hole Stage has a Star Power of 3,000, and the Galaxy Stage has a Star Power of 15,000. What do you think of these two people in the New Territory?"
Lin Zhen took a deep breath. The galaxy stage was 15,000, which was the same level as Wu Gui and Ying Huo in the arena.
The three thousand star powers in the black hole stage are enough to be compared to the general ninth level of the galaxy.
The level of military power in the Metaverse is surprisingly high! "Master, if you want to survive in the Metaverse, the most important thing is to make money. I think you should go to the capital city as soon as possible and find a job after obtaining an identity. You can't get by in the Metaverse without money. For example, you need to buy me an energy core now, which is a lot of money."
"Make money. I can move stars. Is this okay?"
"The Metaverse calls this refining equipment. You can try it yourself. I just arrived in the Metaverse, so I can't answer any complicated questions."
As Chris spoke, she actually started to act like a spoiled child. Lin Zhen had no choice but to close the dimensional universe and continue on his way.
His feet sped up, and traveling under ten times the gravity was indeed a very tiring thing. Lin Zhen was completely unable to perform at his original level. Not to mention moving at sub-light speed, even a hundred times the speed of sound was impossible, because there were often buildings, forests, mountains and other things blocking the road, and he had to turn frequently, so his speed could not be increased.
After walking for a while, Lin Zhen felt a little tired and couldn't help but envy those who had a carriage.
"Try the ship."
Lin Zhen simply took out the spaceship and wanted to drive it forward.
But just as the spaceship was taken out, Chris ran out again.
"Master, the Metaverse advocates environmental protection and prohibits the use of energy-consuming technological products. If you don't want to be caught, you'd better put the spaceship away. In addition, the gravity at high altitudes is even greater, and the spaceship can't take off quickly."
Lin Zhen recalled how he had just arrived in the Metaverse and was immediately pulled down from the sky by gravity, and he knew that what Chris said was true.
With no other options, Lin Zhen had no choice but to continue on his journey.
Fortunately, the place where he landed was not far from the city. After traveling for most of the day, and even taking a shortcut over a mountain, after crossing the mountain, he could see his destination, Muwang City.
"What a beautiful city!"
Two planets were floating in the sky, perhaps reflecting the light of a star somewhere, emitting a faint light, illuminating the huge city below.
The light of the two planets intertwined with each other, forming a large area of light similar to the aurora, falling from the sky like a waterfall, and the color kept changing, making the city below look like a fairy tale kingdom.
Lin Zhen has not yet figured out the pattern of day and night alternation in the Metaverse. It seems very complicated. There are too many stars in the sky and their trajectories are not very regular.
Walking into the city along the road, this city is called Muwang City. The ruler of the city is a king at the top of the realm. Muwang is a hereditary title, and the city is named after this.
After Lin Zhen entered the city, he once again felt an atmosphere that was completely different from the New Territories.
The road is wide and surrounded by shops, giving it an ancient feel.
Teahouses, hotels, inns, alchemy rooms, warrior clubs, spiritual master clubs, auction houses, opium dens, and some romantic places filled with the atmosphere of red powder.
"Gambling and brothels are both legal in the Metaverse. There are many ways to make money here. Master, you can try to find a job."
Lin Zhen felt inside his pocket and found only a copper coin, or one dollar. He should really find something to do and ask for ways to get to the Qilin clan.
Lin Zhen thought that the pub should be a gathering place for news, so he walked into a pub.
After entering, a beautiful woman with snow-white skin and red eyes came up to him and asked Lin Zhen what he wanted to eat.
Lin Zhen took a look at the menu, hesitated for a long time, then turned around and left the tavern.
You can’t order anything with one dollar.
When I arrived at the inn, I couldn’t afford the room fee.
I thought of going to the teahouse to see if there were any cheap big bowls of tea, but I found that the cheapest tea was fifty yuan a pot.
Forget about going to the smoking den, you can only smell the cigarettes.
Lin Zhen entered a business and found a lot of good things inside, but he had no money to buy them.
After walking around for a long time, Lin Zhen found that he had nowhere to go.
Squatting on the street somewhat helplessly, Lin Zhen, who had long had no concept of money, finally experienced what it felt like to be penniless.
He was very hungry and he didn't have any friends here.
Looking up and around, Lin Zhenxin wondered if he still had to beg for food.
Suddenly a huge plaque appeared in Lin Zhen's sight.
"The Mu Palace is recruiting guest officials. Anyone above the Star System Stage can sign up. The registration fee is only one yuan! Only one yuan!"
